Couple of tricks. Some take otc dramamine (dimenhydrinate) or Meclizine prior to getting onto a boat. There is a bracelet with a bead to be worn if you might suffer motion sickness, and is said to be useful in some. The old fashioned scopolamine patch behind the ear may work. A lot of migraine pts have motion sickness, and anti-migraine meds may be useful.

Look out the window. Looking at the scenery out the window in order to get yourself re-oriented will help resolve any "mismatch" between your senses telling you that you are sitting still and your senses telling you that you are moving! drivers rarely get car sick because their eyes are always focused on the road. Sitting in the front passenger's seat is the next best thing.

Sleep, light meal. Being well rested will help greatly. Eat a light meal before the activity - an empty stomach will make it worse. Reduce stress - prepare in advance, make sure you schedule plenty of time and arrive early. Prognosis-good: motion sickness lessens as you get used to the activity. If all else fails, verapamil is a non-sedating prescription medication some find helpful for preventing motion sickness.

See below. Motions sickness sometimes resolves after repeated exposure to the trigger. Some thing you can do reduce motion sickness in a vehicle is to sit in the front seat and look outside, then sitting in the rear and focusing on an object. Some medications such as meclizine, diphenhydramine, or scopolamine can help. Talk to you doctor or pharmacist to determine the right one for you.

Often. Motion sickness (or kinetosis) is a condition in which a conflict exists between the visual system (which detects little or no motion) and the vestibular system (which senses motion). Nausea, dizziness, and fatigue are the most common symptoms. Dramamine (dimenhydrinate) is the more "conventional" approach; ginger root is a more "alternative" but often equally effective treatment for the nausea.

Yes . Research has proven ginger to be very effective for preventing motion sickness. See http://www.Nytimes.Com/2007/08/21/health/21real.Html and http://www.Drweil.Com/drw/u/art00390/motion-sickness.Html.

Ginger. This is not an official medical recommendation because it hasn't been scientifically proven but one common folk remedy is to consume very small quantities of ginger - either extract or the raw root. It settles the stomach. You may still feel dizzy though.

Yes and no. Motion sickness is common and can be disabling. It is thought to be due to sensory conflict in the vestibular system. Natural treatment, like habituation can be effective and has few adverse effects, but can be unpleasant and time consuming
hyoscine is effective preventive medication for which oral preparations and transdermal patches work. Ginger & bracelets have not been proven in clinical trial.

Scopolamine. You could try a Scopolamine patch. It is an anticholinergic medication that can limit the effects of motion sickness. It is applied around four hours prior to whatever event might cause your symptoms and is usually good for three days time.

Avoidance. Avoidance is the best treatment but that can be difficult. Motion sickness is due to incongruous information from different sensory systems and some people are very susceptible to this. Avoiding or minimizng this conflct cures the symptoms. But sometimes that can't be avoided so medications like Meclizine or scopolamine are effective. Combination therapy (nausea + dizzy meds) are very helpful.

Absolutely. Avoid reading in the car and playing cards. Activities that involve focusing on a stationary object will create confusion for the brain, which can "sense" movement but not "see" it. The "conflict" between what is "sensed" and what is actually being "seen" is what causes the motion sickness. Sitting in the front passenger's seat can also prevent motion sickness.
